Today, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were spotted as they trekked through Paris running errands for their upcoming wedding ceremony. Kim was dressed as if she were heading out to a black tie event in a navy and silver embroidered ankle length dress paired with black booties, while Ye was laid back in a sweatshirt, jeans, and leopard print plimsolls.

The couple walked hand-in-hand as they hit up posh designer stores including Balmain, Givenchy and Lanvin. You’ll recall Kim wore a Lanvin wedding dress for their VOGUE cover.

MAGAZINES: Serena Williams On LEARNING To LOVE Her CURVES + BTS With Kerry Washington & Neutrogena

Serena Williams covers FITNESS Magazine where she open up about body image and loving her curves.  See pics inside and see Kerry Washington making her first Neutrogena commercial.

In the May 2014 issue of FITNESS, tennis icon Serena Williams opens up about her body image and reveals that it took her many years to learn to love and appreciate her own skin.  Here are the highlights:

Public Serena vs. private Serena

"I think of myself as two different people, There's the Serena Williams that everyone knows: She's crazy… She can't make a mistake... And she's angry and just not nice, to be honest. I'm only that person for three hours a day when I'm on the court. The rest of the time I'm just Serena. I'm the class clown. It's not the real me. Even for me, it's shocking to see. But in another way, it's kind of cool to know that I have everything together on the court, because I don't really have my life together personally."

On body image and insecurity:

When I was young I thought I should be built more like an athlete -long and lean- not with a womanly figure. But then people my age started coming up to me and saying, 'I love you because of the way you look.' That was really motivating. So I learned to be proud of my curves and embrace my large boobs. It's all about loving who you are and realizing that you're beautiful."

On having an healthy diet:

'It all started because I didn’t want to bring bad food into the house.
I live with my sister, Venus, who has Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease. Before her problems I ate a lot of junk I also found out three years ago that I’m allergic to wheat, so I’m trying to eat a clean diet of natural, raw foods.'

Pick up Serena's issue of FITNESS today.

 

On television:

Kerry Washington (the new face of Neutrogena) posted BTS video from her first shoot with the brand.  She captioned, "Yay! My 1st commercial with #Neutrogena debuts during #Scandal finale. BTS sneak peek. #VisiblyEven #NTGSpokesperson."

Pharrell Williams Gets EMOTIONAL Shedding “Happy” Tears On “Oprah Prime” + Matthew Knowles PROMOTES New Book At Sync Summit

 photo pcrying1.jpg

Super producer Pharrell Williams got so emtional on "Oprah Prime" he shedded tears of happiness, plus Matthew Knowles is promoting a new business and inspirational book. Read the deets inside...

After rocking the stage and going hoarse during his performance at Coachella this weekend, on Sunday night the premiere of Pharrell Williams’ intimate sit-down with Oprah for her show “Oprah Prime” aired and it revealed a very sensitive side to the super producer.

We told you earlier that Pharrell was doing an interview with Lady O and in the interview P spoke with the media mogul about his rise to fame in the music industry and how his creative vision has propelled him to music superstardom. They also discuss his recent marriage to Helen Lasichanh, his upbringing in VA Beach and fatherhood.

But the “Happy” singer, in his green Vivienne Westwood hat, was bought to tears after Oprah showed him a video compilation of fans happily dancing to his chart-topping track. 

"Why am I crying on 'Oprah'?” he asked as he fought back tears. He added, "It's overwhelming because I love what I do and I just appreciate the fact that people have believed in me for so long, that I can make it to this point to feel that," said a grateful Pharrell.

Check out a few clips from their candid interview where he explains why he named his son Rocket, the book that changed his life and his journey from producer to superstar below:

Matthew Knowles is making sure he keeps a check rolling in after it was announced that he would be the keynote speaker at the Sync Summit in the PCF Auditorium in Paris today. He’s no stranger to the event as he delivered his first keynote speech with the Sync Summit last June.

The Sync Summit series offers high-level networking events for music supervisors, label executives, publishers, artists, brand managers and more in New York, Hollywood and Paris. So basically, If you work in the entertainment industry you definitely want to be in the building for networking opportunities and deal making.

And showing off his entrepreneurial skills (which did propel Bey to the top), Papa Knowles will also be promoting his new business book titled 10 Traits of Successful People: DNA of Achievers, which is scheduled to be published later this year.

Although Daddy Knowles isn’t currently paying child support after getting caught up, he could definitely use the extra funds once he has to pay again.

NSFW: TOP FUNNIEST Mimi Faust & Nikko Sex Tape MEMES + Joseline Hernandez RESPONDS To Mimi’s "Granny Porn" Sex Tape Trailer [VIDEO]

 photo mimisextape.jpg

In a last ditch effort to remain relevant and to have an interesting storyline for "LAHH ATL," Mimi Faust and her boyfriend Nikko are releasing their homemade sex tape to the masses. And her co-star Joseline Hernandez had plenty to say about Mimi and her “granny porn.” See the x-rated trailer and check out our collection of funny memes inside…

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Mimi Faust and her man Nikko Smith have partnered up with VIVID to release their very own sex tape and how convenient that the trailer was released on the same day as the "LAHH ATL" trailer. Hmm...

We will get to see how this all unfolds in the upcoming season of "LAHH ATL" (premiering May 5th). In a VH1 press release, it explains how we will see Mimi having to cope with a “mysteriously” leaked sex tape starring her and boyfriend. Mysteriously leaked? Seems pretty strategically planned to us…

Since the release of the hardcore x-rated sex tape trailer video, it has captured many people’s attention on social media, so we decided to gather our top funniest memes floating around on your timelines and Tumbrs, but you have to see the trailer first to understand the funnies in the memes.

 

WARNING! This is TOTALLY NSFW:

Wonder where the lighting guy stood? Lol...

Now check out our collection of memes that literally had us laughing out loud:

"The Family Hustle" star Tiny Harris is putting the spotlight on some of Atlanta's most popular hair stylists in a new reality show.  Because we always need another ATL reality show.  </sarcasm> More inside...

Yesterday, VH1 reality star Tiny Harris appeared at a press conference at the W in Buckhead to announce a new project.

With former "RHOA" personality Dewight Eubanks as host of the event (sigh), Tiny revealed that she, Shante Traynham (Executive Producer/Creator) and Mimi Carpenter (Executive Producer) are producing "The Real Hair Sytlists of Atlanta."

We suspect that this is the project she and her BFF Shekinah Anderson have been "working" towards on "The Family Hustle."   Or maybe this is in addition to the new reality show Tiny spoke about recently, that will be much like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's "The Simple Life".

We will keep you posted as the show develops....

RUMOR CONTROL: Aretha Franklin CONFIRMS There Was NO FIGHT With Patti LaBelle, “I’ve Never Heard Anything Crazier”

 photo arethapattiteaser.jpg

The legendary Aretha Franklin is responding to rumors that she was arrested after she and iconic singer Patti LaBelle got into a fight! Find out what she had to say about the crazy rumor inside…

Aretha is not here for the foolery, y'all!  The Queen is speaking out against the preposterous rumors (which we saw yesterday and laughed at) that she was arrested after a fight ensued between her and iconic singer Patti LaBelle.

The rumor originated from a satire site that said Aretha and Patti got into a fight after the supposed beef they had at the “Women of Soul” event at the White House.   It was said that Aretha threw some shade at Patti during the concert. And soon after, at an unnamed R&B/Soul event in Atlanta on March 20th, Patti supposedly confronted Aretha, which resulted in an alleged brawl between to the two.

It was falsely reported that Ms. Patti was arrested by the Atlanta Police Department and charged with assault and battery. She was supposedly released on a $10,000 bond and had a court date on April 16th.

As foolish as this sounds, Aretha released a statement this morning denying the queens were involved in an epic queen fight saying:

“I’ve never heard anything crazier—regarding myself and Patti allegedly fighting on March 20, in Atlanta. On March 20, I was in New York City readying for my birthday patty (Sorry. LOL. Laughing at my typo error). I meant PARTY, which we all had one fabulous time. Patti and I are cool and we always have been. I enjoyed her at the White House. Classic Patti.

 

There you have it.

He may have spent majority of the season on the injury list but Kobe seems to have made the most of it and reconnected with is fam.  Photographers snapped Kobe Bryant and wife Vanessa as they arrived at LAX airport yesterday.  The Bryants have been traveling a lot this season and making up for all those years Kobe spent majority of his time balling out.

 photo vbrytant2.jpg 

Vanessa looked very comfy and cute in a pair of black flats, tights and a flowing grey top along with her black Birkin. You know, a logical choice for the airport...unlike some folks who are always on Team Too Much while jetsetting.

 photo vbryant4.jpg

Although Kobe missed several games this season as he recovered from Achilles surgery, he's expected to be 100% for the 2014-2015 season.  The Black Mamba will return...and go out with a bang before retirement!

FIX MY LIFE: Game’s Ex Tiffney Cambridge Seeks Professional Help From Celebrity Life Coach Tony Gaskins

After taking out a restraining order against her on again off again fiancé The Game for allegedly beating her down, Tiffney Cambridge is seeking professional advice from celebrity life coach Tony Gaskins. Read the deets inside…

Days after filing a restraining order on her man The Game after he allegedly broke her nose during a physical altercation (in which he totally denies), Tiffney Cambridge is seeking professional help from celebrity life and relationship coach Tony Gaskins (above).

Tiffney’s good friend “BBW LA” star Evelyn Lozada sought help from Tony after her failed marriage with former NFL star Chad Ochocinco, so it’s no surprise he’s helping Tiffney with the current drama in her relationship.

Alleged details of the rapper and his ex fiancée’s altercation surfaced stating both of their children were injured during their fight, including their daughter’s leg getting bloodied. TMZ reports after Tiffney tried to help their daughter, Game supposedly yelled, "Move the f*** out the way" then started degrading her by calling her a “b*tch,” as he ripped off her clothing continuously hitting her.

The Compton rapper allegedly held Tiffney and the kids hostage before letting them go. Tiffney claims she went to the hospital the NEXT day and that’s when she learned her nose was broken.

In an effort to get all of the madness behind her, Tiffney thanked Tony for helping her during her troubled time saying, “Thank u @tonygaskins for everything..all the talks, words of encouragement, guidance, and tough love are greatly appreciated. You've helped me so much on my journey. You're not only my life coach , you're my friend.”

Not sure how we feel about people’s life coach being in the lime light, being that your journey with your life coach should be a personal one.  But to each their own...

As you know, they are in the middle of filming the new season of their reality show, "Married To The Game”. We’re hoping this isn’t a publicity stunt to boost TV ratings because domestic violence is nothing to play with...

While Brandy refused to discuss her split from Ryan Press previously, she's talking now.  Find out what she had to say about the breakup inside....

Back in February, we broke the news that "The Game" star Brandy and fiance Ryan called off their engagement.  Sources close to the couple confirmed to us they decided to pull back on moving so fast.  

 photo brandy-new-years-eve-with-fiance-ryan-press-22a_zpsf126827f.jpg Brandy refused to speak about the breakup when asked about it on red carpets and events.  We were even told that topic was totally off limits http://theybf.com/2014/03/26/ybf-interviews-brandy-dishes-on-her-%E2%80%... ">when we interviewed B Rocka on the set of TV Land's "Soul Man" recently.  But, she decided to run to Us Weekly to speak on it, via her rep.

The magazine confirmed what we had already confirmed two months ago--the engagement is totally off.

"They are no longer together. The engagement is off, but the friendship is still on."

"They decided to take a step back and reevaluate the relationship.  Brandy is 35 now -- that's what her whole #35 on Twitter is about, becoming her own woman."

 

Our source also told us a few months ago that they remain friends as he evens showed up to her birthday party.  And her rep confirmed that as well:

"Brandy has a daughter and she still wants to be married and have more kids but she is working on so many other things right now....They haven't ended things on a bad note and they still speak all the time."

So, there you have it.  Meanwhile, brandy is focusing on her award winning role as Chardonnay Pitts on BET's "The Game" and her new music.

She told VH1's Big Morning Buzz this AM about her upcoming new album, “It’s a personal album, singing about life and a lot of things I’ve been going through lately.”

We're sure. 

And about that NAACP Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role on "The Game":

“I forgot what it was like to win an award. So it was very special to fill that energy and love in the room, but I was so happy to win for playing Chardonnay because it was my first role as an adult woman.”

August Alsina GOES OFF On ‘106 & Park’ After Trey Songz Question + Nelly Claims He’s 100%...SINGLE

0

 photo august106.png

Newcomer August Alsina hit up ‘106 & Park’ today and ish went totally left when he was asked about Trey Songz. Plus, Nelly is making claims that he’s single as a dollar bill. Check the video of August talking sideways and Nelly’s message when you go inside…

R&B singer August Alsina’s debut album Testimony dropped today so he swung through ‘106 & Park’ on the promo trail to debut a new video he has with Fabolous, “Grind & Pray/Get Ya Money.”

In the interview, 106 host Keisha Chante asked the New Orleans singer if he and Trey Songz would ever be able to squash their beef and become friends again. You’ll recall, August said he doesn’t “f*ck” with Trigga because of his big ego and major attitude.

There was an unconfirmed rumor that Trey got a little big headed when he found out that he was taking the stage at a show before August. Guess Trey figured he should be the last performance when it comes to an upcoming artist. August admits he ended up not doing a show with Trey because he “can’t deal with ni**as’ egos and attitudes” so it’s possible the rumor has some truth.

Whatever it is…the Testimony singer wants nothing to do with Trey. And he definitely doesn’t feel like dealing with interviews asking about Trey after he specifically told producers NOT to ask about their “beef.”

When asked about Trey…August, clearly annoyed, responded, “I just told y’all not to ask me that sh*t when I got up in here.”

Keisha was pretty upset over his comment, clearly making sure not to look at him as he spoke, and then stormed off set as he introduced his new video.  Oooh she mad.

Check it:

 

Ha!

And in other news…

Nelly has a message for the masses…he’s SINGLE! He may be single at the moment, but he definitely had some weird love “square” type situation going on.

We told you about him and Ashanti possibly getting back together after partying together during Super Bowl weekend (in matching furs) and facetiming during her Braveheart album release party.

 

Then Nelly threw a curve ball naming his former boo Tae Heckard his “Woman Crush Wednesday” on Instagram, calling her by her pet name “Cookie.” Which could have been an attempt to get Tae’s attention because she’s been occupying her time by flirting with Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Jennings via Twitter.  And seemingly in real life.

Nelly posted the picture above with the caption, “Hold up.... !! I'm 100% single...! So what...!!”

These “celeb” relationships can get so complicated sometimes...

We told you last year actress Thandie Newton was expecting her third child with husband Ol Parker, and now she’s introducing his adorableness in the first shot of her newborn son.

The Good Deeds actress revealed 6-week-old Booker Jombe Parker via Twitter in a picture of him resting on her chest.  Mommy mode indeed.

Assisted by a midwife, Thandie welcomed baby boy Booker on March 3rd via a homebirth.

She opened up about her natural birth delivery saying, “[It was] very challenging in the best way possible. Every fiber of your being is alive. It’s like you are conducting electricity, literally creating something. I’d like to give birth every year if I could, just for that experience.”

Booker joins his two big sisters, 13-year-old Ripley and 9-year-old Nico.

Adorbs...

 Mimi Faust has a few words for the naysayers throwing dirt on her sex tape.  See her response inside and watch the new video from Stevie J and Benzino.  

By now you've all heard about (and perhaps watched) Mimi Faust's sex tape with boyfriend Nikko.  Now, the 43-year-old mother of little Eva has a few words for people making fun of her decision....

NUFF SAID?

Nah boo.  You're a public figure (and a mother but we don't even need to get into that) who signed up to voluntarily show your life to the public on the most ratchet show in the land.  And you agreed to make money off it.  And you make your money off of people weighing in and tuning in.  If you don't want people weighing in on your PUBLIC decisions like shooting a porn that you sold to Vivid Entertainment for pubic consumption....then get out of the business of making money off making yout private life public.  You signed up for this.

On another note, Mimi is able to laugh at herself.  On her Instagram, she and Nikko invited their followers to a party and she captioned "Were swinging through the building tomorrow!!!"   

SMH.....have your SHOWER RODS ready! And not those dollar store ones either....

 

 

In other "LAHH ATL" products...

The Magnificent 757 (aka Benzino & Stevie J) have a product to promote as well!  The BFFs shot a video for their single "Who You Foolin" with Zino rapping and Stevie J handling the vocals.  You know what....it's not bad.  At least not compard to the standards of what's already out there these days.

Don't forget that Stevie J was one of the top producers at Bad Boy pre-Mimi Faust/Joseline.  While you might be on the fence about Benzino's lyrical skills, Stevie J's voice, piano licks and production skills can't be denied.

Who needs a wedding singer when you've got this...

Phaedra Parks solidified her slot on season 7 of "RHOA" with a twerking display for the show's executive producer.  See Ms. Donkey Booty in action inside....

 

As Porsha Williams' fate with the producers of RHOA hangs in the balance (see the reunion fight clip) and Cynthia Bailey is being put up for elimination (thanks NeNe Leakes), one lady who'll surely be back is Phaedra Parks.

While the inevitable trial of her husband Apollo Nida is enough to keep her storyline going, the Southern Belle gave executive producer Carlos King a little extra attention during Kandi and Todd's reception.  Ms. Donkey Booty put that thang on him and he Instagrammed his approval. "#WCW this DONKologist @phaedraparks giving me servings of rump roast at @kandiburruss a"nd @todd167 wedding! #goodtimea

SMH......but it's less harmful than a sex tape and shower rod.

 

BONUS:

 

The ladies of RHOA discuss their season six regrets.  All that subliminal shade thrown at Kenya is hilar....

We Feelin' Jaden Smith's New Slave Role, Or Nah?

Jaden Smith nabbed a new movie role.  The rumored boo of Kylie Jenner and heir to the Smith family throne will be playing a slave in his next slave era themed flick.

 

Speak on it inside....

Another slave-themed movie is on the way.  And 15-year-old Jaden Smith is slated to play the role of a young slave who becomes a freedom fighter.

In the upcoming flick The Good Lord Bird, which is a big-screen adaptation of the 2013 National Book Award winner by James McBridea, Jaden will play "a young slave who links up with radical abolitionist John Brown (Schreiber) in 1856 Kansas and travels the nation with Brown’s motley crew of freedom fighters."

Deadline reports that the story is told through Jaden's character "Onion" and his satirical point of view.  The character also wears dresses and is first mistaken for a girl:

Story is told with a satirical bent through the eyes of Onion, who wears a dress and is at first mistaken for a girl, as he bears witness to Brown’s historic campaign and encounters the likes of Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman en route to the bloody Harper’s Ferry raid that helped spark the Civil War.

The After Earth actor will be starring alongside vet Liev Schreiber.  So...are we feeling the theme of his new role?  Or nah, because Hollywood may need to fall back on the constant influx of slave films?
